Aside from the obvious benefits that a future amputee victim might experience, the implants could also curb tremors, manage pain or treat spinal cord injuries—just to name a few.
Beyond that, DARPA (and SMU) has once again has found a way to blend the present with what was once science fiction:
"Science fiction writers have long imagined the day when the understanding and intuition of the human brain could be enhanced by the lightning speed of computing technologies. With this remarkable research initiative, we are truly beginning a journey into the future that will provide immeasurable benefits to humanity." - Dean Osark, SMU Lyle School of Engineering.

That's freaking awesome.
Holy shit. This almost makes me want to lose a limb just to experience feeling in a fake one.
this would be amazing!
that's amazing. this could help so many people
mind equals blown
wow. hooray for science
Hmmm, what will be left for science fiction writers once we achieve interstellar travel?
Why would you want sensation in an artificial limb? That's one of the benefits. Oven mitts become a thing of the past.
that be soooo boss
Wow, and here I was thinking spray on clothing was amazing.
thanks for the inspiration!

This is absolutely wonderful for medical technology.
Can't wait to see this get implemented.
Well... if I had a liumb cut off for any reason at least now I know that I will still be able to feel things.
I've seen something like this about a person loosing an eye and having some amazing fiber optics put into a fake one, It made me want to lose an eye just to get that, lmao. Science is crazy.
